Weekly Fraser Fraser Valley Sport Fishing Column

Sport fishing column for July 13 to 19, 2009

I feel a good place to start a new series, after our study on BC sport fishing history, is to broach one of my favorite subjects, fun family fishing. I use the qualifier fun, along with family fishing because if it's not fun, often other family members loose interest. Involving and maintaining the interest of all family members can be challenging but the rewards are always worth the effort. A teacher much wiser than I once said "Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it." The large majority of successful anglers have to look no further than themselves to prove the truth of that statement. Yet too many of those same anglers fish without their family; Why? Many answers come to mind but all point to one conclusion. Too many of us, have become too serious, and too technical, in our drive for perfection, leaving novice anglers no room for fun. The fun, excitement, and wonder are what got us hooked and it is no different for those who come after us.
